Hello again bolesregan,

If you are losing hair, why do you feel dandruff is causing it?

If one has excessive dandruff, it leaves lots of dead skin on the scalp and would keep your scalp from breathing. When the scalp cannot breathe, it will cause a noticeable slow growth for the new hairs that generate themselves to replace our hair everyday. Normal lifespan for a single strand of hair is about 4 to 5 years. We do not cycle them all at the same time, however, things can stunt the growth of new hair that would replace hair we shed and therefore cause us to see the difference in our hair's density.

Dandruff certainly is a problem and there are dandruff shampoos available. However, I do not like to recommend any until it is determined to be the absolute last and only option left. See once you start using a dandruff shampoo, you're stuck into using it forever.

Be sure it is not a dry scalp problem. Shampoos or other styling products that are either stripping out the natural oils or have alcohol in them to dry scalp will cause flaking for certain. People often mistake this for dandruff. Be sure to rinse and rinse and rinse all shampoo out as residue from the shampoo's detergents will dry out your scalp.

Are we talking more hairs in the brush or drain? Coming out in clumps? Noticeable thinning in any areas? Let me know! Please!
You may have scaling, yes, however, noticeable hair loss is usually another situation in addition to any dry scalp or dandruff.
